Which is do you prefer? PS2 or Xbox

[TylerDurden]

@Bounty (QSPU), I loved ICO. It gives me that warm mushy feelin inside. Its the only CD based game I have installed on my PS2 hdd.



Anyway's, as for my favorite console. I am back to my PS2 pretty much full time now. Ever since the HDD got supported Im hooked on it like an IV.

i really dont get it with halo, ive played all the way through, played multiplayer and im still thinking, And?

[snake2]

the way i see it xbox only has 3 big exclusives halo ninja gaiden and star wars NOTOR now the reasons why i dont like them

HALO SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! (yes i did play it and hated it) and to tell the truth i dont see what sets it apart from any other fps its the same as every other fps

star wars KOTOR has no replay value

ninja gaiden was great and really the only xbox exclusive worth playing

and the only reason im gettin doom3 for the xbox is cuz it lags on my pc

[Luciel]

as far as im concerned SW: Kotor is on pc, and KOTOR 2 is on its way

hmm, xbox does have some good titles, don't sell it short. It may not have as much hot sellers as others, but that doesn't mean they are terrible. I'm not sure if RB6: black arrow is out for PS2 yet, but that is a pretty good game as I am playing it now. Fable will probably be a descent RPG when it is released, so I guess you can look forward to that. Kotor.. Well, marrowind probably sold more. And as someone that owned and played the game all the way through, it hasn't much replay value, just twice through, good and bad. If you like online play, then I would like to say that XBL is awsome. The downside is that you need cable and has a 6.50/month or 50/year (USD) fee. It offers real time voice chat, buddy lists, and content download for some games (like new maps or ingame features), as an additional feature to online play.

If you haven't got a decent PC, Doom3 will be out for xbox, playable at a locked 30fps limit. So if you have anything less then a 9600xt, this could be a way for you to play it without looking bad at slow frames.

ps2 hands down, but they only thing I want on ym ps2 thats on the xbox is the game saves to the hdd. That is a great feature.

Most xbox games are also out on ps2/pc so I can just play them all then, but the controller is quite gud

Well now what have i stumbled into here.
Since you already have a PC, we wont discuss that one......

Being the CraZyGaMeloVer I am, I have not limited myself to just one console opinion cause those so called "Exclusives" are sometimes great games. Although this is definitely extreme in recommendations,
I recommend starting with the PS2 only because it has so many great games and more to chose from than the other consoles. (this one will keep you busy for a while, collecting games)

Then invest in the Xbox as it does have a great many exclusive games that simply must be played if youre an extreme gamer like myself.

Then go for a Gamecube as a 3rd choice cause its ok but very limited as nintendo fell behind on the game production aspect.

PS1, Sega Dreamcast, Atari, and the other consoles from years past are pretty much left in the past but they did have some fun games as well.

Sometimes you can find a good deal on a game in garage sales and by not limiting yourself as a gamer, you can always take advantage of those $5 to $20 used oldies, especially since most new games are rediculously expesive. Not to mention to the ability to play them, regardless of what type console is needed to play them.
